Hot and Sweet Rockstar Romance
This book is part of a connected world created by the author. I didn’t read any of the previous books and was able to enjoy this book as it stood, but it did make me want to read her other books.
This isn’t your typical rockstar romance book, for one thing, it’s incredibly sweet and romantic, rather than the usual ‘tortured artist in need of a good woman’ trope. Matthew ‘Fish’ Fishberger, is a bass player with a huge rock band, 22 Goats. He’s the nice guy of the band, the one who makes the others laugh and has only just started growing into his fame and charisma recently despite spending 5 years at the top of the business. He’s never had a girlfriend and not for wont of trying, he just hasn’t met anyone who wants him for himself rather than who he is.
Alessandra is a 19-year-old music student who is staying with her step-sister, Georgina, for a week. Georgina happens to be staying with her boyfriend Reed, who also happens to be a really successful record label owner. 22 Goats is signed to his label. When Reed throws a party at his house Alessandra is dumbstruck by all the stars and is totally flummoxed when Fish, the guy from her favourite band, starts to chat to her.
This meeting is the start of an incredibly sweet journey that the two take. They are both really nice people with confidence issues. They learn how to communicate with a long-distance relationship and work at facing their insecurities together.
As well as been immensely sweet this book has plenty of heat and humour to stop things getting too sickly. I love that Fish and Ally educate themselves about sex because they want to be good for each other. It’s sweet, generous and brave all at the same time.
This is a book that will make you feel warm inside and put a smile on your face. It’s definitely one that will cheer you up. It’s a nice easy read that I really enjoyed.
